You might get away with it, but trimming the rear fender is free if you have to. Here is a where someone did it, and they had a 2" lift already.... still rubbed.

you are fine putting them on before a lift, thats exactly what i did. you won't run into problems til you start making things flex. just adjust your bump stops

No problems at all. My 95 Disco is stock and I'm running 245 BFG M/T's. And barely rub @ flex. Will have to adjust steering stops though.

I have 245/75 I haven't gone off road, but daily commuting. You should be fine. I have no problems.

Im running 255/70s on stock suspension. I can fully flex without scrubbing after a camel cut.
